		As part of the Trafalgar celebrations, some of us had the good fortune last week to attend a reception on HMS Invincible in the presence of Her Majesty the Queen.
		What we did not necessarily appreciate at the time was the fact that it may have been the ship's swansong as we now hear that it is to be mothballed.

		One cruiser in the First CS, HMS Roxburgh was delayed in going to Portland due to carrying out gunnery practices under Scott's orders.
		Her Captain signaled to Scott's flagship, HMS Good Hope, whether he ought to abandon the practice in order to enter Portland as commanded by the Commander in Chief.
		While the signal did not directly insult the Commander in Chief, it indicated a lack of tact on Scott's part and, in his position, it was overtly insubordinate.
